Gibson Basses / Re: CME limited edition SGs - collecting for fins and pickguards

Weird, cause I don't like the feel of rounds...sort of like fingernails and chalkboard.

LaBella low tension flats just feel good to me.

I have found that tone has to be very dark, and string height has to be higher than I like to play, in order for it to sound right. I pull the note with my index finger and middle finger, and do the slap with the index side of my palm.

It hurts, and I don't do it terribly well.  Sounds like crap on my WAV bass. Your mileage may vary.

I tried the pressurewounds.

I really liked them also.

Gibson Basses / Re: Who makes Gibson's strings?

I  just opened the case to my 2013 EB to check the case candy.

There is a card with a photo of a Les Paul that says "Your guitar is equipped with genuine Cleartone Strings"...

For what it's worth.

On my EB 13 they said the stock strings were Cleartone, in the literature that came with the bass.

I have actually stopped using this bass due to the size/weight of the design...

Les Paul Jr bass and Fender Mustang are much more comfortable...

Bought an NS Design WAV Double Bass.  Been 35 to 40 years since I've played upright.  Building up hand strength and doing scales right now.

Having a lot of fun with it.

Gibson Basses / EPI T Bird Pro problem
« on: May 13, 2020, 06:00:55 AM »
ok

When I play the T Bird Pro, whenever the pre-amp compartment gets near my cell phone in my pocket, it makes a sound I'll call "motorboating" for lack of a better technical term. How would I stop this? Could be a deal-breaker with this bass, which otherwise plays beautifully.

Very impressive!  They are advanced players for their young age. The time and instruments feel spot on.

I bought a Butterscotch Blonde PJ Mustang bass from Chicago Music Exchange. Dying to hear it but...no gigs, nothing for at least a month probably.
